The house was perfect for our family of seven and a dog! We were traveling for several Spring Training baseball games and this location was in just the right spot. After clarifing the hot tub heating proceedures with the quick to reply management, we had zero issues. We will be considering this home any time we are in the area!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Stacey! 😊
We’re thrilled to hear the house was perfect for your family and your pup, and that the location worked so well for your Spring Training adventures. It’s great to know the hot tub heating was easy to manage with our team’s guidance.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area!
Very convenient for moving our daughter into the University of Tampa. Great pool and outdoor area. Used the BBQ every night, it was a very nice house.

Disliked: Communication
The house was nice but was a little outdated and several issues arose showing the house was in disrepair. Upon check in even though I paid extra for the pool and spa to be heated, the heat was not working. After a couple days they sent a repair person who said a switch was broken. So we didn’t have use of the pool for 2 and 1/2 days.The toilet in master ran slow and had to be repaired. A plumber had to tear out the toilet. The shower faucet in the master did not work well and ultimately stopped working by the end of our trip.The grill they advertised was old and was in disrepair; only 1 of the 3 burners worked. And there were no grill tools. The remote for fan in living room did not work The remote for fan in the master bedroom stopped working( Iassume a battery issue but not sure) The dishwasher does not clean dishes well - it seems old and may need to be cleaned. The property management company (Emporer) said they would work with me after the trip on some reimbursement given all the problems. I spoke to them one time after the trip and they said they had to discuss the amount of reimbursement with superiors. Then they never called back. They never responded to my calls or messages. They have totally ghosted me. And VRBO also tried to contact them and they didn’t respond to VRBO. Very disappointed and cannot believe how unprofessional this company has acted.

Thank you for your feedback, Jacqueline. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations.
During your visit, our maintenance supervisor was dispatched promptly to address the concerns reported, including the pool heat and plumbing issues, and we worked to resolve these as quickly as possible. We understand how frustrating these inconveniences can be, especially during a shorter stay, and we regret the disruption caused.
Regarding communication after your departure, we sincerely apologize if there was any delay or missed follow-up. That is not the experience we aim to provide, and we are currently reviewing this internally to ensure better consistency and responsiveness.
We also want to clarify that while we always do our best to work toward fair resolutions, our goal is to address concerns based on verified issues and completed service efforts.
Your feedback is important to us, and we are using it to improve both the property and our service.

A Co-worker and I were in the area for a conference and decided not to be stuffed up in a hotel and stayed here instead. The stay was great, the house is great, it is very roomy with plenty of room for everyone to have a quiet place if needed.
The Host is great, this is the first place I have ever stayed where I didn't have to reach out for check in information, this was provided to me at the day before. They also checked on us the first two days to make sure we didn't have any needs that they could help with. What sets them apart from anywhere else i have stayed is that we did have an issue with our stay; however, this was out of anyone's control. We paid for the hot tub/pool to be heated and on the second day when we went to get into the pool it was very cold. I contacted them and they responded right away (as usual) and tried to correct the issue. But the issue just got worse from there the hot tub lost all water and the pool pump sounded odd, I contacted them right away and they sent someone out. Unfortunately, the issue never got any better it just seems to get worse ending with the pool water level being very low. On the third day I did request a refund on the charge for heating the pool and within 5 min they responded and refunded the charge.
